some api stopped working for me like

api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q=jack&access_token=XYZ

always answer
Code:
{"meta": {"code": 200}, "data": []}

api.instagram.com/v1/users/123/?access_token=XYZ

always answer
Code:
{"meta": {"error_type": "APINotFoundError", "code": 400, "error_message": "this user does not exist"}}

yes, I updated the token to include the new intents, even created a new app from a different account, nothing changed. I also notice some service that allow you to get user id from username are broken ATM. How's that I'm the only one complainin?? no other service stopped working??
 
Because of the new instagram API you can't see stuff outside of your account scope (so only your feed and account info) if the app is not "Live" (approved by their staff).

Instagram Platform and documentation update. Apps created on or after Nov 17, 2015 will start in Sandbox Mode and function on newly updated API rate-limits and behaviors. Prior to going Live, and being able to be used by people other than the developers of the app, these apps will have to go through a new review process. Please read the https://www.instagram.com/developer/ or the https://www.instagram.com/developer/changelog/ for more details.

Any app created before Nov 17, 2015 will continue to function until June 1, 2016. On that date, the app will automatically be moved to Sandbox Mode if it wasn't approved through the review process. The previous version of our documentation is still available https://www.instagram.com/developer/deprecated/.
